Milestones!!!

This is my story!!!!

What is my story?? Who am I?? How did I end up in writing??


These are the questions I ask myself every day. Yesterday, or say 15th June, was the day when I understood this. I am a 22-year-old, independent girl living far from my hometown. But isn’t this the story of us all? What is different for me? I was just 14 years old when I got to experience the worst thing in my life.. My father's death!!


He was suffering from Cancer, I was a little girl in class 8th and my life changed completely. Since then, I have never discussed this part of me with many people. Only the closest ones to me know the emotional and this empty side of me. My father was the greatest man I knew. I wanted to make him feel proud and see all my achievements. I know he would have been my biggest cheerleader ever. 

I got enrolled in NCC. He would have loved it. He always wanted one of his daughters to serve in the army or anything related to serving the nation.


Then I completed my 10th and 12th, and I wanted him there. I got into college, I started my graduation, and that’s when it hit me the most. I saw my friends’ fathers coming to drop them off or pick them up during holidays. I missed it. I missed having my father around. I knew he would have come to pick me up on all my vacations to come back home.


I graduated last year, had my convocation in 2025. That’s when I needed him the most. I wanted him to see me receiving the most prestigious award sin the campus. But he was not there. I knew he would clap so hard for me that no one else would have mattered. 

I got my first internship in 2024. Again, I wanted him to be there. To see his little girl start working.


Recently, when I was changing my job and was going to start a new journey. That is when it hit me. I just couldn’t control myself. I was all by myself, and I cried. Not just teary eyes but proper crying, where I couldn’t breathe properly. That’s when I knew how much I missed my Dad. Not having him for my milestones i the biggest void in my life. 


I am not writing this for sympathy or to make anyone emotional. I am writing this to let you all know how important your father is. Not having him around is not pleasant. If you have your father around, go to him. Say, you love him. Spend more time with him. 


Love your Parents before you regret it!!!!

Rising AI, Rising Scam

With growing technology and social media networks around us, there is one thing that we all use and experience in our day-to-day lives: Artificial intelligence. It's a really big change in current times. Whether you are a student, a working professional, or someone who wants to surf the Internet, we have AI for everything from voice searches to writing your content. I won't talk about AI's perks or how AI benefits us here; I will be talking about the dark side of AI, the side of AI that we all must know. This site will make you think before whatever you do on your phone or social media. We all have heard about the Rashmika Mandana case of MMS. Her pictures were morphed using AI so cleanly that we could not differentiate the real story. She was trolled highly because of that. Still, you might think this was okay like it was happening before. Morphing and editing pictures was common for people to do that. So why am I pointing to AI specifically? When we talk about AI, it...

Echoes of Tradition: Rajasthani Folk Artists

An unheard tale of a hardworking man who loves his culture, family and work. A man who works hard to feed a family of 15 members. While adapting to a foreign culture and learning it, I want to talk about people who have kept our culture and music alive and have always been an integral part of our society.  Remember Mame Khan and Salam Ali, the voices behind some of our favourite songs? I wonder if anyone knows where these voices come from. We have never even tried to know about them. So today, I will talk about someone with a great voice, but apparently, he could not grow as these artists.  I am talking about a singer, a Kathputli artist, and a musician. Someone who has been to Italy, Germany, and America but still lives in a single-room house with 15 people and is the sole earner. I am talking about Mr. Mahendra Bhati. Of course, you don’t know him, of course, you don’t know anything about him, but let us take a moment to understand him and his story.  In November, I vis...

Social Conditining

We all talk about how we are born and brought up in our lives. It seems like a small thing but the way we are grown up matters a lot in our social build-up. Today, I want to talk about something that matters in our lives a lot 'Our social conditioning'. We will be talking about how we used to be conditioned in our parents' generations and probably how we are conditioned compared to the fact that kids nowadays are conditioned. First and foremost I would want to talk about the basic treatment of kids. In our times, when we were young, we were treated to be strong and we were left to do and learn small things on our own like climbing stairs, playing outside, sometimes getting dirty and our demands were not always fulfilled whereas nowadays kids are pampered.  I guess we all have heard this term and we have used it for kids who are always kept in a bubble. A soft protected bubble that has kept them in a cozy vibe that never bothered their living style. These pampered kids are n...
